Vauxhall Ampera: exclusive first drive

We drive GM’s electric-petrol hybrid, make a little bit of history…

Today, TopGear.com was part of a little
piece of history. I drove a Vauxhall Ampera 50 miles up the M6 and M1, writes Paul Horrell.

This was part of a relay, taking it from
the Vauxhall HQ in Luton to the factory in Ellesmere Port. Finally, a prototype
of the endlessly trailed ‘range-extended electric vehicle' has arrived on the
road.
